びんご焼き
Bingoyaki is “okonomiyaki with octopus”

Comment by Associate Professor Tomoyuki Yoshino of Prefectural University of Hiroshima

At first, it became popular among the general public as a fisherman’s meal that octopus hunters could eat quickly and easily on their boats or on the shore.

In eastern Japan, water octopus, which has more water than true octopus, is commonly caught, so the flesh is soft and it is generally eaten raw.

The cooking of tako, like takoten, does not seem to have spread in Tokyo and other areas.
